Description

Background : Myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor-like lesion of the adrenal glands.<br>Case : We reported the case of a 38-year-old woman who had follow-up after resection of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the tongue. Computed tomography for follow-up revealed a large tumor in the left adrenal gland. Aspiration cytology of the resected adrenal tumor revealed myeloid cells, megakaryocytes, and erythroid cells, but no adipocytes, suggesting a diagnosis of myelolipoma.<br>Conclusion : Cytologists have few opportunities to see a case of myelolipoma, but it should be kept in mild as a candidate for differential diagnosis informed by cytologic examination of tumors of the adrenal gland.
